The shell of the original body is very good, and after dressing up as a man, in addition to being a little short in height, it is very handsome. When Princess Changping saw such a beautiful man, her goodwill rose. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Changping already had a crush, she might have chosen Lin Baiyu to be her concubine.
"Emperor, Mr. Tang and I still have something to discuss. You put down the pastry and leave first. โ
"Oh, good. Princess Changping was very well-behaved, she didn't rely on Chongzhen's liking for her to stay coquettishly, delaying Chongzhen's deliberations, she called the little eunuch who followed her into the room: "Little Yuanzi, bring out the walnut crisp in the food box." โ
Is there a little ball and a little recipe? Lin Baiyu was amused, and couldn't help but divide her attention to the little eunuch who was serving the pastry plate. At this glance, she could see that something was wrong with the little eunuch. The little eunuch has strong feet, he should have practiced martial arts, and his walking posture is not like that of a eunuch, and he has a cyan beard stubble on his chin. The most important thing is that Lin Baiyu found that when he stared at Chongzhen, hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Father, this is a walnut cake made by the child himself, you must eat it!" Princess Changping said coquettishly.
"Okay, I will definitely live up to the filial piety of the emperor. Chongzhen laughed, happy because of his daughter's filial piety.
Lin Baiyu noticed that after the little eunuch listened to Chongzhen's answer, the corners of his mouth hooked up a small smirk.
Princess Changping withdrew with the little eunuch, and Chongzhen said to Lin Baiyu ostentatiously: "Sir, do you want to try the emperor's craftsmanship?"
Lin Baiyu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, let's let the imperial doctor check this pastry." โ
Chongzhen paused with the action of holding the pastry, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by this, sir?
"The princess naturally will not poison the emperor, but it is difficult to guarantee that others will not use the princess and borrow the princess's hand to be unfavorable to the emperor. Lin Baiyu said.
Chongzhen asked, "What did you find?"
Lin Baiyu: "The little eunuch who followed the princess was not a eunuch. โ
Chongzhen's eyes flashed coldly, and he said loudly: "Wang Chengen, let people go to the Tai Hospital to find Imperial Doctor Zhang, and then let people notify Jinyiwei and make every effort to find out the identity of the people around the princess." โ
Wang Chengen answered "yes" and quickly went out to arrange.
Chongzhen didn't touch the walnut cake again, and casually discussed with Lin Baiyu about the affairs that had been interrupted by Princess Changping before.
"You said that Wu Sangui is not available?"
Lin Baiyu said: "Wu Sangui is talented, but he has no virtue, he can use it, but he can't reuse it, otherwise if he doesn't pay attention, he will be eaten by it." โ
"Forget it, I originally planned to promote him to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. Chongzhen said.
Then you just wait for him to lure the wolf in.
"Firearms are important. Lin Baiyu instilled in Chongzhen the important concept of firearms, "The most powerful thing about the Manchu Tartars is their cavalry, and the Central Plains people are irresistible, but if there are firearms, long-range attacks will be very lethal to the cavalry." โ
Chongzhen didn't think so: "How can firearms be so powerful as you say, sir? And firearms are very troublesome to use, and before the fuse of the firearm is lit, the other party's cavalry has already run to the side." โ
Lin Baiyu said: "That's because firearms are too backward now, and their power has not been brought into play." I have here a couple of drawings for artillery, spears, grenades and mines. The emperor can let people develop it. As long as any of these four things are studied, they can also cause great damage to the Manchu cavalry. โ
"Okay, if there is really such a powerful thing that Mr. said, I will give Mr. the first credit. Chongzhen said.
Lin Baiyu: "The grass people don't dare to take credit. If the emperor wants to reward it, give it to the brother of the grass people. โ
Chongzhen sighed: "Mr. is really indifferent to fame and fortune. โ
"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Zhang has arrived. Wang Chengen returned.
"Let him in. โ
Wang Chengen took Imperial Doctor Zhang into the study. Imperial Doctor Zhang is Chongzhen's exclusive imperial doctor, Chongzhen trusts him very much, and directly pointed to the pastry on the table and said, "Take a look, is this pastry poisonous?"
Imperial Doctor Zhang took the pastry plate and studied it carefully, and after a long time, he put down the plate and replied to Chongzhen: "Back to the emperor, the pastry is non-toxic." โ
"Non-toxic?" Chongzhen glanced at Lin Baiyu, meaning that you also have times when you make mistakes!
Imperial Doctor Zhang said: "Although it is not poisonous, a kind of swaya is added to the pastry. This fragrance will make the pastry more delicious, and ordinary people will be fine if they eat it. But if you eat a pastry with a hundred flavors, drink Duyun Maojian tea. Barilla will mix with Duyun Maojian tea to form a deadly toxin that kills people. โ
Chongzhen and Wang Chengen's faces became extremely bad after hearing this. Many people in the palace know that Chongzhen's favorite tea is Duyun Maojian tea. This kind of tea is produced in the south of Guizhou, its origin peaks and peaks, the cliffs are high, the fog locks the clouds, the clouds are wrapped in fog, the soil is deep, loose and damp, coupled with the rainfall, perennial temperature and the influence of natural conditions such as sunshine, all are Yunmaojian tea unique, beautiful appearance, unique flavor, because its shape is like a fish hook, Chongzhen gave the name "fish hook tea".
"Has the identity of the eunuch been found out?" Chongzhen asked with a dark face.
Wang Chengen replied: "In such a short period of time, I can't find anything. โ
Chongzhen ordered: "Arrest people." โ
Wang Chengen asked: "...... over there of Princess Changping?"
Chongzhen was also a little dissatisfied with this favorite daughter at this time, and she was so stupid that she was taken advantage of, if it weren't for Mr. Tang who happened to be in the palace, wouldn't I have been poisoned? This child is so illiterate, he needs to be taught a good lesson.
"Princess Changping was confined in her palace, and she was not allowed to leave half a step without my order. โ
Princess Changping likes to run outside the palace, and the little eunuch is likely to be known by Princess Taiping outside the palace, and was brought into the palace by her, which also brought danger into the palace. In the future, he will never be allowed to enter or leave the palace at will.
Wang Chengen immediately arranged for someone to do it. The palace guards directly broke into Princess Changping's palace to arrest the eunuch named "Little Yuanzi". Xiao Yuanzi was very good, and injured many guards, but finally he was invincible with two fists and four hands, and was arrested by the guards.
"Let him go. Seeing her sweetheart being arrested, Princess Changping ordered angrily.
The person at the head clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, princess, it was the emperor's order to arrest this person." โ
Princess Changping sighed in her heart: "Could it be that my father knows that Brother Yuan is not a eunuch, and thinks that he is a spy who has infiltrated the palace?"
"I'm going to explain to my father. Princess Changping ran to the gate of the palace, "Brother Yuan was brought in by me, he worships his father, I just want him to see his father with his own eyes, so I let him enter the palace." It's all my fault, it's none of Brother Yuan's business. โ
The head of the guard stopped Princess Changping: "The emperor has an order, Princess Changping is confined in the palace, and without the emperor's order, she can't leave the palace for half a step." โโ
Princess Changping's eyes widened, how could her father, the emperor who doted on her, give such an order?
"No, I don't believe that my father wouldn't do this to me. Princess Changping shouted.
The leader of the guards sighed, and kindly reminded Princess Changping: "Princess, Imperial Doctor Zhang found Barilla in the pastry you gave to the emperor, which was mixed with Duyun Maojian tea to produce severe poison. โ
"What?" Princess Changping didn't believe what she heard, "how is it possible? Brother Yuan, don't you say that Barilla is non-toxic at all, right?"
The barilla in her hand was given to her by Brother Yuan, and she has also eaten food made of barilla, which is very delicious, where is it poisonous?
After her eldest brother Yuan heard her words, he snorted coldly: "Chongzhen's life is so big, he was not poisoned?"
"Brother Yuan, what are you talking about?" Princess Changping glared at her Brother Yuan, shocked, "Why? Why did you harm my father?"
"Of course, it's to avenge my father. Chongzhen killed my father, and I will kill him to avenge my father. Her eldest brother Yuan said with eyes full of hatred.
Princess Changping looked at Brother Yuan like this, and felt that he was so strange.
"Who is your father?"
"Hmph, my surname is Yuan, and my father is naturally Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao. Poor my father was dedicated to the country, and was sentenced to Ling Chi by Chongzhen for collaborating with the enemy and treason. As a child, I will avenge my father!"
"Yuan Chonghuan still has a son?" Lin Baiyu was surprised, she remembered that Yuan Chonghuan had no children and grandchildren. I remember that the "History of the Ming Dynasty", which was completed in July of the fourth year of Qianlong, also said that Yuan Chonghuan had no descendants. Later, Emperor Qianlong read the record of Yuan Chonghuan in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and was very sympathetic to his experience, and ordered to check whether Yuan Chonghuan had any descendants. As for Yuan Chengzhi, who is familiar to modern people, he is a fictional character in martial arts.
Chongzhen took the information that Jinyiwei had just presented and said: "Yuan Chonghuan has a son, named Yuan Wenbi, who was born to a concubine he accepted in Ningyuan. Now it has been cast into the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Han army is under a white flag. โ
"Traitor. Lin Baiyu was quite disdainful.
Chongzhen was equally disdainful: "It's not as good as his father!"
After figuring out Yuan Wenbi's identity, Chongzhen didn't want to keep him anymore and ordered Yuan Wenbi to be executed. As a result, Princess Changping intervened, rescued Yuan Wenbi, and left with him. Chongzhen lost his temper, Princess Changping was his favorite daughter, but now it has become his shame, he directly announced to the world that Princess Changping died of illness. Since then, Princess Changping is no longer a princess. It also made the Manchu high-level who wanted to use her identity to make a fuss have to give up this idea.
However, Princess Changping, who was above love, did not get the happiness she thought. She thought that she had given up her identity and glory and wealth for her eldest brother Yuan, and that Brother Yuan would also give up the hatred of the two families for her. However, the man's thoughts are different from her, Yuan Wenbi can't give up the revenge of killing his father, although he can't kill Chongzhen now, but the hatred is always buried in his heart, how can he marry the enemy's daughter? What's more, he has a bright and moving, delicate and brutal little sister waiting for him!
